Is that the install, excluding materials? $2.50-$3.00 for flat, easy surfaces like a box truck. Higher for other types of vehicles. You can charge a premium being a mobile service because you go to them and have to deal with weather delays

Wrong forum category to begin with. This is the Classifieds bids wanted section....

Aside from that - contract installs should be higher than that unless you are adding in a trip charge as a separate line item. We charge at least $4.00 a sf if the vehicle is brought to us, considerably more if we are going to load up a truck and go off site.

Thanks. And that’s just install. Haven’t gotten big enough for to be able to print. I know that’s a whole other ballgame.

So I’m really got giving myself enough credit. Didn’t know where to start here so figured it was bid related.

$4/square MINIMUM

If you are a good installer you are worth the $$$.

People have to stop selling for less and less. It just affects the entire industry. Just saying…

Me and my guys do a pretty good job and fairly quick for just 2-3 guys. And I agree on the selling for less, I’ve done some figuring on what I’ve been making and just doesn’t seem like a fair pay.

Charge by the hour not the square foot. You also have help, so you need to add in for them.

Installing a full wrap only with 2 or 3 people, I'd be around $1500 depending on the vehicle. Full Coverage color changes, bumpers, door handles and mirrors would increase that price.

I 100% agree. I posted the $4/sq minimum based on the topic.

Another Wisconsin-ite. Where are you located? I’m in Waukesha.
